A quick update – March 2025.

Not much to mention.

February wasn’t too great for writing. Now I have to do twice as well in March. 🙂 But so far, off to a good start.

I took today off and in addition to a little napping, managed to get a good bit of editing done. Pretty pleased with that.

I tend to write until I reach a difficult spot and then go back to the beginning and go through the manuscript again, editing along the way, polishing and smoothing and molding the story. By the time I get to where I stopped, I’m ready to go again and there was no time wasted. I think this method really helps when it comes to the final draft by the editors. Usually there isn’t much that I need to fix by then. (Because I’ve already gone over it more than a dozen times.) And the story tends to flow well.

Maybe that’s the secret to writing good books. I dunno. I’m still winging it.

As for the WWII Kaiju books…

Book 1 – Trample the Weak – Over 50% finished.

Book 2 – Leap the Dead – 1% finished. (Outlined in my noggin’ only.)

Book 3 – Eat the Survivors – Spoken of only in jest.

Anyways… Bear says hello. (The hairier of the two below)

Until next time…

Erik and Bear.
